Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Your company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicles with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $3,700 a piece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $36,000 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life, but you are unable to make use of either bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to about $4,400 each. If your cost of capital is 12 percent and your firm faces a 21 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

Analysis of a replacement project At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment. The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment.

It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6).

Estimated annual operating costs of the new vessel are: Fuel Labor and benefits. Maintenance Other $380,000 330,000 70,000 105,000 $885,000 Page 183 The crew would require additional training to handle the new vessel's more complex and sophisticated equipment.
